Interface netscape.messaging.smtp.ISMTPSink

public interface ISMTPSink
ISMTPSink is the interface for the response sink for all SMTP commands.

The ISMTPSink interface contains callback methods for each client call. The client’s processResponses call invokes the appropriate interface callback method.

To utilize the SMTP client object, you must extend this interface. As a convenience, the Messaging Access SDK provides the SMTPSink class, which implements the ISMTPSink interface. You can save a step by extending the SMTPSink class, or you can implement your own class based on the ISMTPSink interface. The constructor for the SMTPClient class takes an ISMTPSink interface as a parameter.

These methods return standard SMTP Response Codes, as defined in RFC 821. See "SMTP Response Codes" in Chapter 2, "Sending Mail with SMTP" for more information. For detailed information about SMTP, see RFC 821. (For the URL, see "Where to Find More Information" in "About This Book.")

Notification for the response to the BDAT command. Sends binary data chunks of the specified size to the server. When using the sendCommand method, send data with the data method and not with bdat. Note: bdat is not supported by Messaging Server 4.0. Use data instead.

See SMTP Response Codes in Chapter 2, "Sending Mail with SMTP."

Parameters:
in_responseCode - 3-digit Response Code, as defined in RFC 821, for the response.
in_responseMessage - Text that describes the 3-digit Response Code.

Server responds to commands with a "still here" response. Sending the noop method does nothing except force this response. Can be used to maintain server connection, perhaps being issued at timed intervals to make sure that the server is still active.

Resets the autologout timer inside the server. Not needed by applications that do not need to maintain the connection. See SMTP Response Codes in Chapter 2, "Sending Mail with SMTP."

Notification for the response to the QUIT command. Ends the session. If the session is in the Authentication state, the server closes the server connection. If the session is in the Transaction state, the server goes into the Update state and deletes any marked messages, and then quits. See "SMTP Response Codes" in Chapter 2, "Sending Mail with SMTP."

Parameters:
in_responseCode - 3-digit Response Code, as defined in RFC 821, for the response.
